I joined the beginner Krav Maga class at Empire about 2.5 months ago and I have to say... I have never been more excited to exercise!! Every day that I have Krav, I am so excited to get there and start my work out. Every day that I don't have Krav, I am wishing I did! I have learned so much from Alan and the Empire Team already. I am ecstatic that I am reaching my goals of becoming stronger and losing weight (8lbs down so far). Krav at Empire inspires me to be healthier in my overall life too. I can't wait for my next workout!

I love this place. Staff is friendly and engaging. They go out of their way to help you learn how to do things correctly and safely. I've never had so much fun exercising. Two weeks in and my hip is already feeling stronger. So glad I joined. No pressure, positive atmosphere.

Threw the first punch of my life two weeks ago, and I've never felt better! I have been so intimidated and scared to join a gym, but I am SO happy I finally did and I am SO happy I chose ESDF. I look forward to going to my HIIT class every day because the workout is great, the staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and encouraging, and the overall environment is super positive. Looking forward to working more with the ESDF team!

My time and training with Empire is invaluable to me. As a student in the Muay Thai program, I have been invested in by staff and fellow students alike- my success feels like a priority to everyone around me. The facilities and instruction are second to none and thoughtfully handled. Alan and Cheryl manage a great business and take the measures to maintain a great environment for all of us- it feels like a family. I feel more confident and capable in my body than I ever have from the strength I've built and progress I've made- it really is the best part of my day. I can see my involvement here for many years to come.

Do you want to become

the best version of yourself?

You need a way to combat stress and anxiety.

You want a workout that will burn a ton of calories and help you lose weight.

You’re worried about losing flexibility and strength as you age.

Ever feel in a rut from the same old workouts at the gym?

Luckily there is a comprehensive solution…

There are plenty of workouts you could try, but it can be difficult choosing the one that’s going to give you the greatest health benefits and best results. If you want to lose weight, you’ll also want to choose a workout that will help you burn a large number of calories and tone your muscles at the same time.

The workout you choose should do everything you want it to do – from toning your muscles to improving your cardiovascular health and reducing stress.

you will grow with every class!

Muay Thai combines the discipline and focus of martial arts with an intense, body-toning workout that can help you lose weight, improve your cardiovascular health, and minimize your stress and anxiety.

Get the Results You Want from Your Workouts

We all have times when we fall into a workout rut. We go to the gym, but we aren’t getting the same results we used to see.

One problem may be that you’re doing a workout that doesn’t challenge your entire body. Muay Thai workouts require students to use every major muscle group – and that means it delivers a great workout every time.

Maintain Flexibility and Strength As You Age

TAs people age, they tend to lose flexibility in their joints and may find that they lose strength as well. Experiencing a physical decline can limit your ability to do the things you love.

People who practice Muay Thai reinforce their body’s strength and flexibility with each workout. By emphasizing core strength and overall fitness, Muay Thai can help you combat the aging process.

Just as importantly, Muay Thai is a low impact workout that uses your body’s weight to tone your muscles. People of all fitness levels and ages can benefit from Muay Thai.

Muay Thai Banishes Stress and Anxiety

Stress is a part of modern life. It can have a negative impact on your physical, emotional, and mental health if you don’t find ways to minimize it.

Working out regularly releases feel-good hormones called endorphins. Muay Thai workouts will help you maintain the proper hormonal balance so you can cope with stress as it arises.

At the same time, Muay Thai can also make you feel better about yourself and your body, which contributes to good mental health and makes it less likely that stress will affect you.

FAQs

Do I have to be in good shape to study Muay Thai?

No. In fact, Muay Thai is one of the best workouts you can do to get in shape if you’re not happy with your current fitness level. It works your entire body. Over time, you can increase the intensity of your workouts to continue to challenge your body.

Is Muay Thai good for self-defense?

Yes. Muay Thai teaches students to leverage their own body weight as well as their opponent’s weight. Students learn practical moves that are ideal for self-defense – and Muay Thai also builds good reflexes, which are essential in a fight.

Will Muay Thai workouts help me lose weight?

Yes. However, it is important to combine Muay Thai with a healthy diet and lifestyle if you want your body to be lean and strong. Muay Thai burns a lot of calories but you may have problems if you eat a diet high in sugar and processed foods.

Is Muay Thai dangerous?

Muay Thai is not dangerous for beginners, especially if you wear the proper equipment. If you choose to compete, there is some risk of injury. Here again, though, proper protection can help you minimize injuries in the ring.
